S.U.P.E.R. School- Discussion Thread

cirrus • 17 October 2013 at 7:12 PM

I would like to say, yes, I realize that there are already three(or four) RPs about a superhero school. However, I was only part of one of them, and didn't steal anything from any of them.

Before you join, I would like you to read the RP topic here: http://www.eggcave.com/forums/topic/44926

•You go when your 13 because they think you've had enough human training by then. You graduate at age twenty.

•There are only a couple people in the entire school who are being trained to be superheroes but they are a normal person. Therefore, only one person may have a character who has no powers, it is first come, first serve.

•Year 1: Only take the 7 main classes
•Year 2: Ability to select extracurricular activities
•Year 3: You can select electives, but must choose at least two
•Year 4: Drop any classes you don't need, but you must have at least seven classes, and at least five of them must be part of the seven main classes
•Year 5: Mentor selection at the end of the year
•Year 6: Every two months, you take a two week break to be your mentors sidekick
•Year 7: Out of school every other month being a sidekick. At the end of the year, you decide if you want to become a superhero, and decide where you will be located.

cirrus • 17 October 2013 at 9:23 PM

@bookw0rm Thanks! 😃 And I think you got a little confused, can you delete most of that post above, as it is very long and will probably confuse some people.




Here's the rest of the stuff:

Teachers-
-Headmaster: Alatar: A wise old man, with the power to control the four elements.(He's like Dumbledore)
-Martial Arts: Venus Hargur: Better know as the superhero Venus, Venus Hargur is a woman who just recently graduated the school, and teaches basic martial arts to years 1 and 2. Her power is the ability to turn herself into a poisonous gas.
-History of Heroes: Bernice Terrier: A strict, grump old woman who is always complaining about the children, because she didn't have good training when she was a superhero. Her power is the ability to control water, and turn into any creature that lives in the snow.
-Power Science: Arnold Theisen: A middle aged teacher, who is very nice, and let's the students get away from anything. His power is the ability to take on one or more features of a bird, such as their beak, wings, or claws.
-Botany and Chemistry: Simon Derrilas: The botany and chemistry teacher, an awkward man, that smiles all the time, and is a bit of a nerd. He has the power to rearrange atomic structures, bringing objects to life.
-Tactics and Strategies: Hilda Lenalda: The kind, yet strict Tactics and Strategies teacher, known as the superhero Warhamer. She wears all red, and is said to treat you like her soldiers, rather than her students. She can control metal.
-Power Control: William Hessberg: The teacher who is most students favorite, Professor Hessberg teaches all of the Power Control classes, and has the ability to go back or forward in time one hour, as well as shoot beams out of his hands, all different colors, and they have different effects.
-Weapons: Werwit Venice: A tall, skinny teacher who is every bit as clever as Professor Lenalda, though nobody says so, because she wouldn't be happy about it. He has a very long and skinny face, and a tiny French mustache. He dresses like a stereotypical mime, without the face makeup, and has the power to camouflage himself, and other things, even the power to change his skin color.

•Also, I'm open to any ideas you may have, especially about extracurricular activities.

Rules
-No godmodding
-No Mary Sues
-This is literate, so at least three sentences per post.
-No OOC in the RP thread unless it's accompanied with some RPing.
-You may die, and people will die, but only you can make yourself die, unless somebody else gets your permission.
-I'm working on the plot for year 1, so don't start making up some plot yet. 😃
-You all will start in year 1, and have to progress through the years as the story continues.
-All first years have no option for extracurricular or electives.
-All first years have the same classes, taken in the order shown up above.
-In year 1, their powers will be VERY underdeveloped. At the beginning of the school year, their powers will be practically nonexistent, so don't have your character running around doing all these amazing things.
-If you've read all that, put a smiley face in the other section. If you don't put a smiley, I won't accept your form.

@bookw0rm Are you going to join, and even if your not, please delete that really long post.

My(skittlejg's) form:
Name: Lucas Arnterment
Superhero Name/Nickname:None yet
Appearance: He has snow white hair, and is very pale. His eyes are a pale, icy blue, and he has no freckles. He always wears a white shirt, white shorts, and no shoes.
Personality: Lucas is very shy, and almost never talks unless he really feels comfortable around you. He is tentative of his powers, and doesn't like to use them often.
Powers: Limited ability to control light. Lucas can take away a light source and keep it within himself to use later. However, he only takes away the light itself (if he takes away the light of a flame, it will still give of the same amount of heat unless you put it out, but it won't light up a dark room.) When he has light stored within himself, he can use it to make a fire, relight the fire or light bulb in which he took the light from, light a light bulb even if it's burned out, direct it to his eyes which will cause them to glow blue and give him night vision, shoot it from his hands (which essentially turns his hands into flashlights), or create objects/animals out of the light which he can use to fight. He can, however, run out of light, and be unable to use his powers. He can also make light shine completely through something or some one, making them or it invisible.
How powers were obtained(optional): He has had them since birth, but he doesn't know how he got them. He barely knows what they are, the only thing he is sure of, is that they had something to do with light.
Skills(optional):

Name: Rain Rivera

Superhero Name/Nickname: The Daughter of Mother Nature

Appearance: Rain has black hair with natural lighter brown highlights. It's a bit wavy but is considered straight to most people. The hair is parted so there is more hair towards her right side.
Her eyes are a mix of blue and green, her left eye is more green than blue. Rain has a fairly round face but not enough to make her look childish.
Rain's quite small and skinny for girls her age. Her frame makes her look fragile and can be easily pushed over. (Height 5'4")
Has a couple of scar around her forearm from her previous experience with learning to control her ability with fire.
Likes to wear sweaters to cover the scars on her arms but during the summer or hot days she tends to wear bandages to keep people and friends from seeing or asking her about them.

Personality: Rain loves to smile. She gets bored very easily, yet can find fun things to do. Rain loves to make new friends but acting herself had always been a struggle. Rain suffer Nyctophobia, having the fear for complete darkness, since she was first set in a dark room at the age of 3 years old. (Never tells anyone about it till they've witness her having panic attacks or in the mode of being petrified.) When she's close to someone she would make jokes and be sarcastic and rude. Sometimes she won't even notice she hurt their feelings.

Powers: The Elements. Mostly controls water. Never really learned how to control earth. She can control the wind so fast it turns visible. Can also turn water into ice in different forms. She is in fear of burning someone if she uses fire.

How powers were obtained(optional): N/A

Skills(optional): Is very light on her feet. Can swift by and you wouldn't even notice.

Other: 😊 Later will add more of her background.

#xoform

@skittlejg Hope it's okay! I may ask question along the way of the rp ^^"

jupiter_hollow • 17 November 2013 at 8:30 AM

@skittlejg Okay, soooo... I'm making a character, but this character has a more specific... power. Because the source of his power isn't him.

-Name: Declan Bikha
-Superhero Name/Nickname: Camden
-Appearance: Very much on the short side, often blending efortlessly into the crowd (and boy, does he love that ability of his), with a slim built, slightly packed with a little bit muscle, but not excessively so. Medium tanned skin, dark brown hair in slight waves (often unkempt and left to hang in dirty locks) and chocolate eyes, his features mostly blending together - nothing special to look at, both body and face-wise.
-Personality: A little too overprotective of himself. The 13 years away from people of his kin proved to be hardy, what with his constant differing from the rest of his class, his family and also every social group there is. This made him protective over his abilities and not only - trust issues are a given and he often turns aggressive or rude upon any attempt to be delved into or when he's questioned too throughoutly. He's definitely less hostile when it comes to casual socializing - can hold a normal conversation if he's sure he'll never meet the person ever again. When in a large group, he makes sure to appear timid and unapproachable to deflect anyone's desire to talk to him - because let's be honest, who'd want to talk to a brooding dark kid?
-Powers: It isn't exactly a power. He has a very developed mind, not only intelligence-wise, but also in terms of mentality. Throughout the years, he developed an imaginary friend that gradually manifested itself inside him and turned into a real entity, that is connected to him and can freely roam the outside world. The entity he called Camden - it has no appearance, no voice, but possesses the abilities to touch and to manipulate matter. To an outsider, the general impression would be that Declan is indeed telekinetic and manipulating objects, but it's the entity that does it.
-How powers were obtained: Like I said, developed throughout the years. What can I say - he's pretty open-minded xD
-Skills: Intelligence - he's more of a closeted intellectual than anything, since showing off his mind would bring unwanted attention onto him.
-Other: 😊 Okay so I'm guessing that Declan would have no control over Camden in year 1, which is generally a given xD

#VCharacter

cutebirdy79 • 17 November 2013 at 9:13 PM

Name: Josh Hale
Superhero Name/Nickname: Snow
Appearance: Silver hair that looks like snow and icy blue eyes, that turn white when he uses his power. Wears white, gray or black clothing like skinny jeans, sweatshirt, gloves, scarf, combat boots and a t-shirt. His skin looks slightly tanned but is freezing cold to the touch.
Personality: Hardly ever talks but when he does it is usually to someone he knows or is used too.
Powers: Can control the weather
How powers were obtained: On a hot sunny day in California. When he nearly fainted from the heat and he made it snow.
Skills:
Other: when he talks you can see his breath like it was a really cold day but its not.

@skittlejg Is it okay that I made another character, if so is he accepted?

cqpkytty • 17 November 2013 at 9:50 PM

@skittlejg
Name: Adelaide Ruisseau
Superhero Name/Nickname: Acrylique
Appearance: Light brown hair in a fluffy attempt at a pixie cut; a dreamer's blue eyes; (slightly) California-tanned skin
Personality: Loves to paint; fairly introverted but friendly.
Powers: She can summon and dismiss her paintbrush at will. It can't be broken, and if someone takes it from her, she can get it back without even trying. If she touches it to something, she can paint using that color and texture, exactly. she doesn't need a surface, she can paint onto air. Or space, or whatever. If she paints something, it's the real thing. If she paints a bird, for example, it'll fly away. She can paint with air - it's like an eraser, sort of. She can control whether she gets the color of something or if she paints on it, or if she touches it with her brush and just doesn't do anything paint-wise to it.
How powers were obtained(optional): She's always had them.
Skills: Painting, English-French bilingual
Other: Her parents were originally French. She isn't particularly interested in superheroing, preferring to improve and expand her art skills.

Because I'm pretty sure we have enough xD
Also our ratio boys to girls is 1:2 xD

cirrus • 18 November 2013 at 6:13 PM

@jupiter_hollow Yes. I would love to start! 😉 And there seems to be more girls than boys on Eggcave, and girls usually make girl characters, so there's always more girls in RPs. xD

Anywho, are you reserving first post or are we allowed to go crazy?

Do we wait for you, oh mighty creator?

cirrus • 18 November 2013 at 6:56 PM

@jupiter_hollow xD No, I was hoping one of you would go first for this. For your first post though, just explain the letter and stuff, don't actually go to the school yet, maybe your town hall (where you'll be picked up).

jupiter_hollow • 18 November 2013 at 6:58 PM

@skittlejg
mkay, I may or may not make the effort - dunno, I'm too lazy xD

yeh, going to the school would be a pretty major godmod... guessing you'll roleplay the pickers? pickers xD the people that pick up our peeps.

cirrus • 18 November 2013 at 7:04 PM

@jupiter_hollow I don't really care if you RP the "pickers." I was thinking that they would go and then the "pickers" would take them to this big jet. So they could get to know each other. 😃
